My church has bought a building and started having services in it.

Our mission started a little over 1.5 years ago. We started out in a basement classroom of a Catholic church for a few months, and this was very kind of them, but the place was definitely less than ideal: it was a classroom. We then moved to the basement of a Lutheran church, which was very nice, as it was not really underground and they were being exceedingly kind to let us stay there. Anyway, there was an old Lutheran church with a rectory, it needed a lot of work, and we bought it. After intensive mold remediation and such, we've moved in and started having services there. It's really quite perfect. It's a church built to work like a church. It reminds me a lot of my old parish in that way, except that was a little wider and less long, as well as having a much larger altar area. This is more of a long, not terribly wide church with a slight transept and a small altar. The wings of the transept have slightly elevated areas, so you could, if you had the staff and really wanted to, do antiphonal choirs on special occasions. Anyway, it's great news.
